If you can dance in the ran, you can stand any storm
Can we talk about skinny rain moments please. You know the one we all wish for, to let everything go and feel life throughout your body... And NOT to be modified by the pictures someone else takes.

There's a lot of interesting lore in the Marvel comics, especially the UK comics. Some of my favorite lore details have to do with cassettes, who I think were portrayed especially well.
In the UK Annual story "State Games" that also serves as the story of how the War began, we get so much insight into what cassettes' roles were on Cybertron before the War. Ravage, who would go on to become Megatron's first follower, and Nightstalker, who chose to die trying to protect the old, crumbling regime, were guardians of one of the Autobot Overlords. Not to be confused with the Decepticon Overlord, the Overlords were a ruling lineage of Autobots. In the Marvel UK continuity, everyone on Cybertron used to be Autobots.
Even after the War, when Decepticons and Autobots became two factions, this trend of cassettes being associated with high-ranking politicians continued. We can see that the tyrannical Decepticon ruler of Polyhex, Straxus, had Ratbat as an advisor.
But cassettes aren't forced into roles of being guardians or stewards—with Straxus's destruction, Ratbat took on the mantle of Decepticon leader, first on Cybertron, then in general. Ratbat was an especially competent little capitalist, who would often use his enemies as slaves and test subjects. One of my favorite Ratbat moments had him giving Shockwave a bad performance review.
Nobody ever questioned Ratbat's leadership based on his cassette form, and Ratbat was only eventually done in by his ego getting too big.
The ability of cassettes to record information was also utilized, like with Rain Dance and Grand Slam containing information about the Underbase.
Cassettes in this continuity had some really memorable roles. Ravage saved the entire universe in one arc, for instance. I just think the way they were written is cool!
Andrew attended and was the Q&A host for the world premiere of his long-time close friend Eva Birthistle's directorial debut film Kathleen Is Here, at the Raindance Film Festival. (A double showing, both sold out!)
Several of my friends on Instagram were lucky enough to attend this memorable evening and highly recommend seeing the film if you get a chance!

GIANT FROG MEETS GIANT TURTLE. ONE OF WATER AND ONE OF FIRE. While riddled with his anxieties expert survival instincts Globox doesn't know what to make of the stranger who too is ginormous for his species.
FOR ONCE HE GIVES THE SCARY GIANT THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT AND APPROACHES TO MAKE ACQUAINTANCE. ❝ Hello, uh,...hi there. See I'm not really- I have no idea where I am? There were these white rabbits sometime ago, they took my kids, then my best friend disappeared -❞ It seems like the amphibian is beyond talkative, call it nerves, he's not used to being lost and alone. A toad in a strange land.
❝ Uh, OH! OH! YEAH! Then there was this portal and ZAP I wound up here, and Globox ❞ Sometimes old habits slip in. ❝ -I- I have portals where I come from but I've never been here before it doesn't look like home, there would be lums and faeries and other sparkly, pretty glowy things. -NOT saying anyone's ugly, ahuh. ❞ As he spoke his eyes seemed to bounce around, not quite meeting Bowser's. / @koopzilla starter
